Tongileo Korean Restaurant - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

My husband and I love our time there, and it was our first time there. We got want we were craving for and were satisfied. We'll be going back soon.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean soup and fresh ingredients, this is the place. I’ve been here 3 times so far and it just gets better. Authentic handmade mandu (steamed dumplings) and fall off the bone pork back bone soup with a deep flavourful broth- this soup is what Tongileo ... is known for so I highly recommend it - you’ll be hooked! The side dishes are fantastic as well…very fresh. Overall 5 stars and highly recommended. Read more

I recently dined at this restaurant with a pregnant friend, and the experience was beyond disappointing. To start, we were served spoiled squid, which is completely unacceptable, especially for someone who is pregnant. After we told the server, they offered a discount as a form of compensation. However, when they got ... wind of our intention to report this incident to the health department, they shamefully retracted the discount. They said they are being generous and take our intention to report as a threat. Also, they emphasize that we have to be responsible for what we order, but we didn’t expect to get the spoiled food. To make matters worse, they even summoned the police to coerce us into paying the full amount. And they take away the dishes but never serve us a new one, so basically we paid full price for nothing. This level of disregard for both customer well-being and basic ethics is inexcusable. It's disheartening to see such a blatant lack of responsibility and accountability from the management. I strongly advise anyone, especially those who are pregnant or have health concerns, to steer clear of this establishment. The blatant disregard for food safety and the mistreatment of patrons is simply unacceptable. I have already reported this incident to the local health department, and I hope they take the necessary steps to rectify this situation. Read more

backbone soup is great and meaty! Squid bibimbap is sweet and spicy, my classmates think it is average, I prefer this taste. No more spicy kimchi soup, replaced with kimchi tofu soup, which is delicious. Free to give us three small dishes, sweet potatoes, seaweed is sour and sweet taste, ... delicious. If you happen to be in the area, you can come and try it. Read more

This is always our family's favorite restaurant in Tri-city area. Whenever I want to skip cooking at home, we'd like to come here. For years, we stick with the same orders.: Pork bone soup, bulgogi in hot stone bowl and pork cutlet. I noticed their prices have been keeping on going ... up, but still the most reasonable in our area. I like their sides too, which have been cut from 5 dishes down to 4, now 3. But still no complains since they were generous before and always gave refills if we asked for. Recently we started to like their bibimbap. Their cooking is good and food is tasty and homey especially in the cold winter, very filling and satisfying. Read more
